I switched to Kirstan pipes about 15 years ago to reduce inhalation and limit how and when I smoke.
You are welcome. I lived and "breathed" this part of medicine for so many years during my training (I work exclusively with kids now so not as big an issue). Knowledge is a powerful thing, powerful enough that I have not smoked a cigarette since I was 19, or anything else legal or illegal since about 22. I could probably count the number of cigarettes I ever smoked on my fingers and the toes of one foot. Although I did endure second-hand smoke from my 2-3 pack-a-day smoking father until I left for college (late 70's), but he quit shortly thereafter. He is turning 82 next week and still going strong.
